Currently, the US PCE inflation data is about to be released, and Federal Reserve Board member Cook is also facing legal scrutiny. These two events happening simultaneously have pushed the market into a typical "data-driven" and "policy uncertainty" double bind.
How should we understand the significance of this moment? Simply put, traditional safe-haven assets like gold have been sustained by the story of "inflation hedging." But when the macro environment becomes so complex—on one side, economic data may exceed or fall short of expectations, and on the other side, policy-making remains uncertain—gold's "safe-haven logic" is truly being tested.
For risk assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, this environment is both a challenge and an opportunity. Market participants are re-evaluating the allocation value of different assets. From the movements of certain institutions, the appeal of Bitcoin as a new type of safe-haven asset is rising, reflecting investors' reassessment of traditional safe-haven tools.

This narrative about gold is almost outdated; Bitcoin is the real safe haven. I mentioned this long ago.

Gold's set of talking points is really about to go bankrupt; Bitcoin has already realized it long ago.
Whether the PCE data comes out or not, it's always Bitcoin's time to shine.
With Cook's incident causing turmoil, policy circles are starting to become unstable; the crypto world has long been like this.
Safe haven? Laughable. Those still trusting gold are so out of date.
Data-driven approaches? Watching price fluctuations is what’s truly real.
Institutions switching to Bitcoin is actually late; they should have done it earlier.
The more uncertainty, the better; on-chain transactions are a real advantage.
The traditional financial defenses are really unable to hold up.

Gold is starting to struggle this time, feeling like it might be overtaken by Bitcoin.
